Inspiring collections

ARTIST ROOMS is an inspirational collection of modern and contemporary art acquired for the nation by National Galleries of Scotland and Tate through the generosity of Anthony d'Offay. ARTIST ROOMS On Tour enables this collection to reach and inspire new audiences across the country, particularly young people.

The National Galleries of Scotland is responsible for the national collection of Scottish art, the most important of its kind in the world. Our definition of Scottish art is broad, and embraces artworks and artists with a varied range of associations with this country – from the artist’s nationality to the subject of the work. In this collection, you can explore a selection of highlights from our collection of Scottish art.
